My dystopian series, now in one hefty volume, and in the hands of Kevin McNally, Nyle DiMarco, and Tim Lebbon. Oh, and some bloke from West Bromwich, UK.

“FALSE PROPHET is a complex weave of disparate threads that draw the reader towards a revelation of cosmic proportions. A rattling good read and a deeper, nerve-wracking glance at the nature of good and evil.”—TERRY GRIMWOOD, British Fantasy Award nominated author of The Alone, and The Ghost.

Creatives, keep on doing what you do. Art is an inherently human endeavour, and when times are tough, it is creating art that often sees us through. Shine on, you beautiful diamonds.

Yes, I have an agenda. It's to make marginalised people feel welcome and included however I can.
